Storage costs being what they are now, I'm just syncthing'ing my entire mp3 collection to my phone now. According to syncthing it's 27.9GB, and while I'm sure there are people out there with another factor of magnitude more, a 512GB SD micro card, where the value sweet spot appears to currently reside, is ~$38 now. You can stick a lot of music on your phone now. At 256kb/s or so that's roughly half-a-year straight of music [1]; if you really just can't cut your collection down to that, well, I mean, you can nearly get the full year straight for $90 or so now, and I'm sure 2TB will be along shortly. We're not that many exponential doublings away from you being able to store enough music to last your entire life on your phone.

Assuming your phone still takes an SD card, of course. I get the whole "push into the cloud" thing but SD card prices have been consistently running ahead of cloud storage options and bandwidth plans for a while now; it's kind of amusing that it's the high end phones that lack this option. It's nice to be able to slam music, movies, entire seasons of TV on to my phone without it interfering with the main OS space.

I am an introvert. I can talk to strangers, but prefer not to. I speak in small groups of friends or collegues, I am the lead in lots of calls, I even do training to big audiences. When in the moment, I can do it without hesitation, but in the end its always draining.

Good advice but we need to change its scope: All of that works if your problem is shyness or being self conscious. And indeed there's a strong Venn diagram between shyness, quietness, self consciousness, awkwardness, and introvertness. But it's not the same.

I'm inherently all of those things. After 20 years in consulting though, including dedicated training and experience, nobody believes me anymore - I've built strong social skills and come off cheerfully comfortable at work and random social situations. I've been formally mentoring people emotional intelligence and soft skills for at least 6-8 years.

But they are exhausting, even those that have become second nature / automatic. And that issue is not becoming lesser with age or skills or experience. And the more people in a group, the more exponentially exhausting every experience is :-/

Pretty sure in a year or two the ratio will flip to where people will pick up on articles that are not assisted by LLM. Does this post read like it's been written completely by a human? And the models will probably get better until it's mostly indistinguishable.
Netscape had javascript running server-side in 1995, only a couple years after Lua was created. So no, Lua did not have "over a decade head start", it had 1 year.

Microsoft also had server-side JS, and still do. Active Server Pages (ASP) were scriptable with javascript since 1996. Microsoft's JScript.net has been around since 2002 (even if not well supported or maintained by M$, it still works). I've written web back-ends, Windows desktop applications, and even .dlls with JScript.net as far back as 2003.

Javascript has been Adobe's scripting engine for Photoshop since 2005. Sony chose Javascript for Vegas Video's scripting language in 2003.

Javascript has so many uses outside of a web browser, and has for a very long time.
Problem is that passkeys aren't resilient enough to loss of the authenticator device, which means a fallback flow is always made available, that is vulnerable to phishing/MITM/social engineering.

This is even more pronounced thanks to the efforts to roll out passkeys to the masses. Most of them don't understand what they're getting into and are most likely gonna get themselves locked out quite quickly, which may mean recovery flows need to actually become more relaxed than they currently are.
TBH, I'm not sure I'd even use ncurses for a TUI project in C today. ncurses was made to solve a specific set of problems at a specific point in time; better solutions for many of those problems have since emerged.
simplicity, feels zen-mode vs a lot of over-the-top-terminals these days

also (from the docs):

> Ghostty supports the Kitty graphics protocol, light/dark mode notifications, hyperlinks, and more. This lets terminal applications like Neovim, Zellij, and others do more than they could in other terminal emulators.

Application features are higher-level features that are useful for interacting with the terminal emulator itself. For example, Ghostty supports native tabs, splits, a drop-down terminal on macOS, theme switching on system dark/light mode, etc.

I regularly say yes to work dinners and such that I don’t personally want to attend. That sort of thing is far outside my comfort zone, and that’s exactly why I do it.

It’s good exercise to pretend to be outgoing and chatty for an evening. Like any other skill, you get better at it with practice! And the author here is so right: almost everyone else at these things besides the salespeople are probably also introverts. I can promise you that you won’t be the only one there. I never am.
Because (1) sulfur-dioxide injection is a short term solution that doesn’t solve the problem long term, (2) there is a huge risk of termination shock if civilization ever stops injecting it, (3) the only long term route to a stable client is to stop emitting and to remove the CO2 excess we’re adding, (4) all of this assumes that solar radiation management doesn’t have terrible unexpected effects on the climate.

could you humor me and exPlain why you think this? I’m neither shy nor introverted and I have only a casual understanding of either. If I take their comment literally, I guess the only part I would see being different is “it will feel liberating.” But aside from that I do support the advice of people going out of their comfort zone, even if they hate it.

I read GPs advice as “go to the social gym.” For some people the gym ends up feeling good, others will hate it no matter what, but the advice is sound regardless.

What do you think though?
It's great that you (and many others) find it useful, but I genuinely have no idea what this is about. I switch my iTerm from my 13" MBP, 32" monitor, and iPad all the time, and I don't need any config to make it work. Maybe I just don't care enough about this stuff but I don't see what I would even configure this way.

Anyway, this is the reason I love the new wave of terminals, they bring new stuff on the table and anyone can find one they love. I just installed Ghostty and it works as I expect out of the box, with even less config (0) than I have on iTerm. And it's fast. Now I just hope they'll add a config UI some day (one of the reasons I prefer static config files: you can't really get a UI with a programming language) and I'll be in terminal heaven
That sounds like a fun class! It sounds very similar to https://www.nand2tetris.org/ or Charles Petzold's book "Code".
You only re-export the unchanged parts.
EVFILT_AIO is the same in 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 (which is different - in practice and to the compiler - to EVFILT_AIO in 0.3).
(Only) c_void is the same in 0.2.0, 0.2.1 and 0.3 (again, in practice and to the compiler.)
The author could first reproduce models and results from papers before trying to extend that work. Starting with something working helps.
As in the Portable Executable file format? There are no tricks used in this article that rely on the specifics of ELF, unlike some more extreme examples [1] that abuse every trick in the book to shave off more bytes from executables.

If anything, PE piggybacks on top of COFF which is a complete mess of a file format. I'm currently writing a standalone library for reading and writing toolchain file formats [2] (to replace some messy bespoke code in my Ghidra extension) and this under-specified, fragmented into multiple dialects, weirdly contorted relic is a pain to deal with.

COFF was a stepping stone from a.out to ELF that should've lasted only a couple of years on Unix systems and somehow it managed to metastasize at a crucial point in time inside multiple software ecosystems, most notably Windows and indirectly .NET and UEFI through PE. Frankly, I'd ask instead why couldn't PE and COFF have lost.

The threat is negligible. You cannot hook up a text generator to the internet and make it any more deliberately harmful than a sufficiently motivated human. I have yet to read any well-founded research suggesting that AGI would present a tangible threat to human existence.
Yeah. I could get by with the default Linux terminal and tmux really. Tmux is just the best. Second to vim it’s the single most useful thing I’ve ever used.
There was an article recently about the importance of designing the function signature, and I connect that to creating the appropriate level of abstraction, which also connects to this. Guess it’s all about creating the right interfaces, but I’m not really a programmer…
that has zero realistic chance of happening in the US. Even repealing the Faircloth amendment that limits public housing stock is not broadly popular.

The synthetic fuel is what you sell. The uranium keeps you producing fuel for cheaper than O&G traditional extraction.

But you're right: Just put a off-the-shelf modular reactor on the ship, then use that power to synthesize payload fuel from CO2, and the gold, uranium, etc are just helpful extras.
I solve that by using zellij locally (I use tmux remotely). Bonus points: I can close or upgrade Alacritty without losing session.
Interesting. I started a somewhat conceptually similar project several months ago. For me though, the main motivation is that I think there's something fundamentally wrong with the current method of using matrix math for weight calculation and representation. I'm taking the approach that the very core of how neurons work is inherently binary, and should remain that way. My basic thesis is that it should reduce computational requirements, and lead to something more generic. So I set out to build something that takes an array of booleans (the upstream neurons either fired or didn't fire at a particular time sequence), and gives a single boolean calculated with a customizable activator function.

Project is currently on ice as after I created something that builds a network of layers, but ran into a wall figuring out how to have that network wire itself over time and become representative of whatever it's learned. I'll take some time and go through this, see what it may spark and try to start working on mine again.
> While the reality is, it takes effort to communicate and drains energy for everyone.

This is a low effort take that depends on the ambiguity of language to sound true.

"Drain" for the author apparently means literally using up a finite amount of human energy, concentration, and willpower. That's a truism.

"Drain" for an introvert can mean anything from starting a muscle tension clock that will eventually cause a headache to a straight-up panic attack that could take hours/days to recover from.

It's probably even worse for young people who are introverts and haven't been taught how to say no or set boundaries. (I remember explaining to some college-age people that saying no is a skill, and they looked at me like I had just revealed to them that, with enough practice, humans can actually fly.)
> Ram learns about Shyam’s promotion and feels a bit disappointed. He goes back home and says to himself “I am not an extrovert”, consoles himself and moves on with life.

I have seen this play out time and time again at nearly every company I've worked at and even every team I've TL'd.

I used to be a "proud introvert" myself. The "proud introverts" often feel wronged in these situations, struggling to understand that communication is just as valid and critical of a skill as writing code.

Accepting that I didn't need to make "being an introvert" my identity, and learning how to communicate, skyrocketed my career.

Makes one wonder how human history would have played out on a different geography from the past. Say we evolved on a super continent with no oceans in between, just one big one around the connected landmass.
> "Drain" for an introvert can mean anything from starting a muscle tension clock that will eventually cause a headache to a straight-up panic attack that could take hours/days to recover from.

Unless you are being hyperbolic with your usage of the word "panic attack", having one during social events is not "being an introvert," it's a medical condition.

I am an introvert and have also had unrelated panic attacks. Panic attacks effectively paralyze you, you feel a deep and uncontrollable sense of doom, often accompanied by palpitations. Sometimes you feel like you can't breathe.

If caused by social interaction, that's not a normal thing to experience, even for introverts. That is in the territory of actual medical issues: panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, etc.
In hindsight it is crazy that tiny iPods from the early-mid 00s had 120-160 GB storage, more than what a flagship $1000 iPhone starts with twenty years later. Yes they used HDDs, but for media consumption it didn't really matter. And then when Apple switched to flash storage we took a massive step back to 1/2/4 GB with outrageous premiums for extra capacity.
None of that jives with any of my observations.

In my immediate circle alone - my sister is a strong extrovert and always has been. She thrives on large groups. If she's stressed and wants to relax she'll go to a party or downtown dance club or hang out with a dozen acquaintances. She's been that way since tween. I bring her up because she's very upfront, and I trust and believe her, that social engagements alone are NOT, and never have been, hard work or effort. They're natural to her, she gains energy from them, she enjoys them tremendously, and gets recharged through them. This is not my external observation but her convincing expression. I know others like that.

Then there's me :-). Lot of that, such as parties and dance clubs and even large groups of friends, sounds awful to me. Easy on assumptions though : As per my parallel comment, I've been a client-facing consultant for 20 years. I practice and teach soft skills and emotional intelligence at fairly high level at work. Having started as a hands-on techie for the first decade of my career, I haven't written a line of code since 2018 - ALL I do now is talk to and manage and coach and mentor people, meet with clients, etc. I spend about 7 hrs a day actively engaging people professionally.

And it's still as draining as it is rewarding and enjoyable. 20 years of active practice and daily high level socialization has not meaningfully moved the needle on whether I gain energy from people, like my sister always has, or drain energy even with people I enjoy doing activity I like.

Absolutely there's detail and granularity to this - I love teaching and have been a visiting professor for 3 years at local college. I love mentoring and coaching and do it daily. But at the end do the day I strongly crave alone time to recharge after social activities (which is what I call "being an introvert"), whereas I know people (I call them extrovert) who simply don't need that, at all. The notion that simply practice can change that, hasn't been the case for anybody I know.

You can gain skills and that's indeed worthwhile! But that does not automatically alter the energy management situation.

So my apologies, but your post is the most literal proof that some extroverts don't understand this, at all, and like Freud, make wild assumptions based on limited internal experience :-/. It's less of a capacity thing, which I'll agree may get expanded, and more of what does activity do and how does it draw on that capacity.
I think I get how this works but other package managers would likely solve the problem by specifying that the v2 package "provides" the v1 interface, and then possibly deprecating or removing v1. At least I think that would work. It's not something I've sought to do. Most libraries in C or C++ do not support linkage of different versions in one app, so you must pick exactly one version to run with.
TBH landshrimp doesn't sound so bad, I'm kind of surprised nobody has reached mass market with that kind of product.
I think once you move from early fantasy CPUs to early CPUs in production such as 80286, the complexity immediately moves up drastically. IIRC it involves at least memory segmentation, protected mode (MMU).
even better, the first check could have asked him for his route, and phone ahead to let their colleagues and especially the call centers know that he is coming. with a photo even. the reverse of a wanted poster. and if they had to deal with a lot of illegal immigrants in the area, the maybe could have asked him to wear something easily identifiable that someone else would not wear. maybe a number thing that's common for runners in a competition.

part of the problem is not only that he is checked, but how he is being treated during those checks.

i mean that's my experience in china. every interaction with authorities was extremely polite and friendly. even when it was an issue where i broke the law because i didn't register my new address in time. of course africans experience racism in china as well, so i can't say for sure that they would get the same treatment as me, but certainly not what this guy experienced in croatia.

I didn't say it's a good idea, or even that it actually works, just that it's one of the few schemes that I could even be convinced has some hope of even presenting two-digit gigatonnes of carbon to some reaction of interest a year. Which is what you'd need to be doing in the face of 40Gt/yr emissions.

Processing millions upon millions of cubic kilometres (top 5m of the sea is a bit under 2 million) through machinery just screams science fiction or greenwashing to me, simply based on "you want how many pipes?!". Current human water use is 4000km^3/yr: so it's 500 times more than that to cycle the water once.

If we could build that much processing infrastructure, we could just build decarbonised generation capacity in the first place. IEA estimates that 150ish GW of nuclear power would displace 1Gt, or maybe 600GW of solar. That's way less than pumps and handling plants for 100 Lake Baikals per year. China installed a third of that in just solar this year.

> “Hey man, what’s up? Why don’t you approach and talk to a few here? They are friendly, you know. You like Open Source, so maybe talk to that guy (pointing to a senior of mine) and ask him how he got started.”

This is completely wrong-headed on the part of the host of this gathering. The correct move is "Hey, man, it looks like you don't have a lot of connections in this room. Let me introduce you to a friend of mine... [Friend], this is Aditya. [Say something interesting about Aditya to justify Friend's attention.] You two have [X] in common. Aditya, I have known Friend for [Y] years. Ask him about [Z]. etc." The host mediates the introduction for a respectful amount of time, and then walks away.

That is the function and, truthfully, the responsibility, of a host at a gathering where not everybody knows everybody.

Whereas, some people would find it impertinent for a stranger to barge in on a conversation and introduce themselves as if they were important enough to deserve attention. Maybe they are, but they may be supposed to let somebody else do that for them. And likewise, many people feel slimy going around putting on an air of self-importance. It is hardly fair to characterize this kind of sensibility as "pride" or a feeling of "disgust" toward other guests.

I also use tmux, but I love the native tabs of Konsole in KDE. I have Shift-Arrow configured to move between them, it is far more comfortable than the dual shortcuts needed by tmux, Ctrl-B to call tmux's attention then l (if I remember correctly) to get to the last tab.

Konsole also has easy resizing of text and supports images in the console, you might like it.

Yea, I don't want to defend Visa, but a lot of their dominance came from network effects. Merchants want to accept Visa because it's what people have in their wallet. Customers want Visa because it's what merchants accept. That cycle keeps reinforcing itself.

That's not to say that Visa hasn't worked toward favorable regulations, but the biggest problem with alternative payment networks (to Visa/MC/Discover/AMEX) is that most retailers don't take them which means most customers don't want to set them up. If most customers don't have those payment methods, there's little incentive for a merchant to setup those payment methods.

With OpenAI, there isn't the same network effect. I don't care what LLM you're using or what LLM Walmart or anyone else is using. If Anthropic or Google start offering better/cheaper LLMs, companies can simply switch over. Maybe some integrations will need to be rewritten, but that's a lot easier than getting hundreds of millions of customers to sign up for something new. Plus, companies like Google are simply implementing the OpenAI API so that integrations don't have to be rewritten.

By contrast, if another company launches a payment network, it isn't enough just to convince a company to switch. You need to convince millions of consumers to switch - which would require convincing enough companies to switch.
Nice work! How does this compare to Warp?
